The secreta Y of the Interior has sub
mitted his r,r Drt for the year ending
June 80. IL says: Under the existing
laws the area of public lands is rapidly
diminishing. This would not be an
evil if the lands were passing into the
hands of actual settlers, but the facts
are otherwise. From March s.
1880. to October j. 1887, the number of
entries Cancelled for fraud, illegality or
other causes, amounted to 81 ,07S, en-
bracing an area Of II ,23S ,913 acres. In
all, the department has succeeded in re-
storing 10 the pn5lc domain IS 6G3 394
acres. More than 5000, 600
acres of land which had been illegally
fenced by foreign and other corporations
have been restored to the public do
main and the fences removed.
/ respectfully but earnestly recon-
mend the immediate and total repeal of
the presumption laws, timber culture
acts and REIMBURSEMENT acts, and add
thereto the cash entry clause in the des-
ert land law. The injurious effects OF
their remaining on the statute books in
their present form has convinced me
that all except the homestead law
should be swept from the statute book.
More than quarter of a century has
elapsed since the passage of tie home

COLOROHpS CAREER.

The present troubles with the
White River Utes, with old Colorow
at their head, naturally recall, says
the Denver TIbune-Republican, the
stirring events of the celebrated
Meeker massacre, in September,
1879. This is particularly true be-
cause the scene Of difficulty is on
technically the same ground, and
some Of the men who were leaders
in that murderqus onslaught are also
in this.
Colorow, who represents all the
worst elements of crankiness, snllen-
ness, cunning end cruelty of the In
dian character, was then aa now one
of the prime movers in the deviltry,
but by shrewdness he managed to
keep himself in the background, and
when Douglas, Captain Jack, Per-
sumo and the other chiefs were cap
tured he escaped to. the msuntains,
Colorow is one of those ignoble
spirits so often found among the. In
dian race that seeks to enjoy por-
ton of the spoil without sharing the
danger of the fray. So it was found
that when the men on the reserva-
ton were killed and Mrs. Meeker,
Miss Meeker and Mrs. Price were
made captives, one of the women
was allotted to him. He ought to
have been captured and hanged at
the time, and the failure of the
authorities to perform that act has
cost the settlers much trouble and

dead and worse than useless. There
fore the process Of irrigation must
herin at once. The rude sakiyeh
and the ruder shadoof are kept
going night and day, and give en-
ployment to tens Of thousands OF the
people and cattle as well. With
these primitive appliances the water
is lifted and emptied into the chan
nels which have been dugged or
diked to receive it. From these
larger receptacles the water is led to
smaller ones, which, overhowing,
cover the fields.
In little time, then, a Nile farm

Of waste of mud; for now the
crops are grown. The lentils bend
with their heavy load and the fields
Of grain turn their well-fllled heads
from side to side that the ripening
sun may change their green fresh
ness into gold. What landscape,
unadorned by art, can be moro
lovely than such a farm, narrow
though its limits may be, with its
groves of palms to fan the breeze
and scatter their sweet fruitage into
the lap Of the happy fellathin? Here
no weeds grow to annoy him. No
stone crops are belched to the sur
face each year to stop the pillow.
And this is good, for the Egyptian
plow has no scientifically curved
coulter or sub-soil attachment.

cation must rest a while, for all
hands are pressed to help with the

DEATH OF E. C. WALLER.

Edward Green Waller, native of
Yorkshire, England, aged about 30
years, died at his residence, Palama,
last evening, at GALS O'Clock, of
heart disease. Edward Green Wal
Ter came here about 20 years ago
Ivy the way of Panama, to join his
brother on a plantations on Hawaii.
Later on he came to Honolulu and
went into the butchering business.
Subsequently he retired from bust
ness, and has been gradually declin-
ing for the past two or three years.
He was subject to spasms and died
during one of them at time above
mentioned. The deceased was
buried at $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon

property, beside iyop5riizng tho
lives of many citizens, as Tic present
developments show.
When Chief Ouray died in 1880
Colorow came forward as Q candi-
date for the dead chief mocassius.
He was rejected, however, and Chief
Shavano was chosen as the head OF
the White River Utes.
This so angered Colorow that he
has never behaved decently since.
lie has always been a sub-Chief, and
has been considered the leader Of
the war or disturbing element of the
tribe.
When the White River Reserva-
ton was abandoned by the Govern
ment and subsequently opened for
settlement by the whites, Colorow
refused to consent to the treaty. lie
would not sign the papers nor in any
way yield what he claimed were his
rights.
The White River Utes were re-
moved to their new reservation in
Utah, called the Uintah Reservation.
Colorow was taken with them, but
as soon as the soldiers left, Colorow
deserted the reservation and ever
since he has been a menace to the
settlers, returning TO the reservation
only to get his annuities.
Some time ago Colorow went to
what was previously the reservation
from which the Indians were re-
moved, and claimed all the land.
lie said he had never transferred his
interests in the lands of his fathers,
and they belonged to him. He was
soon chased away by the soldiers,
and less than six weeks ago was
captured and taken back to the
reservation in Utah. The next heard
of him was from an item reprinted
from the Meeker "llerald" a few
days ago, saying that Colow and his
band were once more at their old
eNll tflcks, MUCH W lHc dlnoy dhCC
of the people, and predicting the
trouble which has very naturally re-
suited from the careless manage
ment of these affairs by the Govern
ment authorities.
Captain Jack, one Of the chiefs
implicated in the Meeker massacre,
was sentenced 10 confinement in a
military prison in Wyoming, and
was killed with gatlilg gun while
trying to escape.
Chief Douglas, another culprit of
the same kind, was confined at Fort
Leavenworth for two years, at the
end of which time he became de-
ranged on account of lis imprison-
ment, and was discharged, it being
said that .he was harmless imbecile.
One day, while in the company OF
three Indians, he is reported to have
attempted to shoot a white man,
when his companions killed him.
Old Colorow should be numbered
with Douglas and Captain Jack.
